Absolutely no problem so long as ya know the boat's name and it's over 50 feet - or in survey -lol

Just a caution, the seller may own the registered trailer, debt free, but the boat may be encumbered.

I looked at buying a boat years ago. Vendor's behaviour was very suspicious- did not know how to start it, could not answer obvious questions etc. I found an identification plate with a serial number on the boat, and called the cops to check whether there was any need for concern. They came straight back and confirmed it was all legit. Might be the way to check.

Not really able to trace boat ownership, as they do not have a numbering system., to register them. You can fit them onto just about any trailer, so even checking rego, does not mean anything. If you really worried, you could maybe check at local Cop shop, and see if they have any of the type you are looking at, listed.
similar problem with caravans and trailers no real id numbers

You ppsr the owners name with a debtor search. If they have a loan for buying the boat it will show it in the collateral.
